A Texas MAGA terrorist fired at local sheriff’s deputies who were visiting on a “wellness check” just prior to the man’s arrest on misdemeanor charges for entering the Capitol during the January 6th, 2021 insurrection after the man’s father had warned he was suicidal, Politico reports.
FBI agents arrived on the scene shortly afterward, but both they and the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office deputies backed off after being unable to coax 40 year-old Nathan Pelham to come out peacefully. The FBI arrested Pelham the next day instead. While of course the correct take on this is “If he was Black these cowboys would have fucking killed him right then and there no question,” the silver lining is that instead of just doing a few months tops on the Capitol misdemeanor charge, Pelham will now likely do serious time for felonies after shooting at the cops. Probably.
